[QUOTE="DJ Fergus, post: 1760725, member: 93895"] [INDENT][/INDENT] 7mm rem mag put the 6.5mm (265 win mag) behind so far as to never catch up with the rem mag. 7mm rem mag was purposefully created to be a 600 yard minimum recoiling elk rifle to shoot 175 grainers almost 60 years ago. The 7mm projectectiles are still superior to the 6.5s ballistically and in ft/lbs energy. A 162 7mm low drag is very close to a 140 6.5mm low drag in b.c. I have 5 rifles in 7mm and two in 6.5. I am about to put together another 6.5 and it will probably be a 264 win mag as I have three 7mm rem mags now. I believe the 7mm rem mag is a great all around cartridge and still more versitile than a 264 win mag but that being said I think the 264wm is a great round also. [/QUOTE]
